Oh, we know! You really can't go wrong with a loving tribute from Hoofbeats In Heaven, just in case — well, you know. While you're there you might want to purchase a nice print of Barbaro galloping with other horses in the afterlife (you don't want to stand under that flying one, believe us).

• After the weekend most talk about current events, some talk about the game, and others talk about you - Oh Barbaro. Are we all crazy? No, for you see, we all are in love with you and you my prince bring out the best in humanity. — Terri Cole, 31; Braceville, OH, USA The Midnight Horse Show

• Hi Beautiful Barbaro, you are a VERY smart horse. You are a very special horse and my prayers continue for you, your family, Dr. Dean and all who love and care for you. Love, Jill XOXO —Jill Srncik, 51; Green Valley, AZ, USA

• My one & only Bobby: So I heard that you had a special visitor, Edgar, & that you are back to nipping—you naughty boy! I'm so proud of you—you just keeping munching on the apples & grass. Everyone loves you-we'd like to be nipped, too! — J Bell, 53; Pulaski, VA
